Thorne: Oh, no, no. Taylor, come on, don't say that. Hey, that's the way I
used to feel. But then you came and rescued me and my little girl from our
darkest nights. Taylor, because of you, we can get up each morning, and we can
face the day because of your strength and your guidance. Taylor, you gave us our
lives back. Now, don't talk like that, okay? Now, whatever you're going through,
I'm here and I'm gonna hold your hand and we're gonna get through it, okay? The
same way that you held alexandria and mine. All right? Now, we're going to face
things, from now on, together. That's how we're gonna do things, okay? All
right, now tell me. Whatever it is, taylor, please tell me.

Stephanie: Honey, can I have a moment alone with taylor?

Throne: No, mother --

Stephanie: Please, sweetheart. Just a moment. Please.

Thorne: Okay.

Stephanie: Thank you.

Taylor: Why -- why did you do this?

Stephanie: Because of how he sees you.

Taylor: It's because he doesn't know what you know. So let me tell him.

Stephanie: And what'll you tell him, taylor? You had a couple of drinks and
you ran his wife over?

Taylor: He needs to know the truth. You said so yourself, and I'm ready.

Stephanie: I wouldn't trust you to tie your own shoes at this point in your
life.

Taylor: He still needs to know.

Stephanie: You are not in a position to decide what someone needs -- that is
clear. That is abundantly clear to me.

Eric: Come on, taylor, pick up. Phoebe, sweetheart -- alexandria, did she --
did she take anything? Did she take any medicine?

Alexandria: No.

Eric: Honey -- you have a fever, hmm? Sweetheart, I need you to talk to me.

Darla: Phoebe?

Do you know where your mom is?

Phoebe: Jail.

Eric: What? Alexandria, did she say anything?

Alexandria: It's her fault mommy died.

Eric: Alexandria, why would you say something like that?

Alexandria: She said it.

Taylor: I want to tell him.

Stephanie: You don't get to want anything, taylor. You don't have any
prerogatives here. You're life is a mess. And until you can pull yourself
together, your life isn't even your own.

Taylor: I'm really confused. I don't know what you want me to do. Just tell
me what you want me to do and I'll do it.

Stephanie: Why did you make him need you? He only smiles with you. How could
you do that to him?

Taylor: I didn't manipulate anything, if that's what you're implying. I just
reached out to him. That was the least I owed him.

Stephanie: You owe him a life, not to be nice to him.

Taylor: I loved him and I took care of him, which, obviously, he didn't feel
like he could get from other places.

Stephanie: No, he got it from the brilliant psychiatrist.

Taylor: Don't go there.

Stephanie: Who knows everything but what any household dog knows about
decency. What happened to you?

Taylor: I lost myself.

Stephanie: And darla with you? For god's sake, you lose keys, you lose a
purse, you lose cards, you lose money, you don't lose yourself. Are you still in
there?

Taylor: You know what? I guess maybe I have a bad habit of listening to the
wrong people. Like I did with you. Because that cost me my marriage.

Thorne: Taylor -- hey -- hey, look, I want to know what's going on with you,
okay? Phoebe said you were coming by. What is this all about?

Stephanie: That's what I want to talk to you about. Something rather shocking
happened tonight, and we really can't expect taylor to make sense of it because
she was there first and before anybody even knew.

Thorne: She was where?

Stephanie: Hector's house, it burned down tonight.

Thorne: Oh, my god.

Stephanie: I was there, too.

Thorne: Was anyone hurt?

Stephanie: Well, hector was -- I don't know how badly. I mean -- 'cause we
barely got out in time ourselves.

Thorne: No wonder you're so distraught. I'll never forget what hector did for
darla. Hey, let me drive you to the hospital, okay? We'll get some information.

Stephanie: No, that's not necessary. I gave my phone number to one of the
fireman and, you know -- they'll call.

Stephanie: She's right here. What are you doing at university hospital?

Eric: I had to bring phoebe in.

Stephanie: Phoebe?

Taylor: What about her?

Eric: I stopped by to see thorne and -- look, put her mother on, will you?

Stephanie: It's eric.

Throne: Was there a problem at the house?

Taylor: Eric, what's wrong?

Eric: I wish I knew. Look, she was sweating and shaking when I went in there.
I'm not sure she even knew who i was.

Look, bridget is on duty

here and she's asking me

a lot of questions

I don't know the answers to.

Is phoebe allergic to

anything?

Taylor: No, no.

Eric: Has she ever had a seizure?

Taylor: Oh, god. How is alexandria?

Eric: Look, she's fine. She's here with me.

Taylor: Okay, she's -- alexandria's with eric. She's okay.

Throne: Dad, we're on our way.

Eric: Good.

Bridget: Her pupils looks all right. I just want to give her a half cc of
adavin I.V. And another in a half-hour if she needs it. I think I know what's
going on here. I just want to double check the scan results before I let her go.
Where's alexandria?

Eric: Ally?

Bridget: Alex?

Eric: Alexandria?

Bridget: Ally?

Eric: Did you see a little girl -- a little blonde girl? Purple --

Bridget: Ally?

Eric: Alexandria? Sweetheart? What are you doing down there?

Bridget: Hey, ally -- look what I have here. It's a brand new coloring book,
and there is not one page in here that's been colored. I really need this done,
so I was wondering if you could help us out a little bit.

Alexandria: I don't want to go in.

Bridget: Oh, well, then you came to the right place, kiddo. Because that's
what these chairs are for. So, I'm gonna leave this coloring book right up here
and go check on phoebe, because she's gonna be going home really soon.

Alexandria: Okay.

Bridget: Okay.

[Eric laughs]

Eric: Come on.

Taylor: Bridget!

Bridget: Taylor -- hey, listen, it's okay. She's fine. And don't let the
oxygen scare you, she was just hyperventilating. We did do an eeg, just to rule
out any form of a seizure, and they would've called if there was any cause for
concern. I was just double checking.

Taylor: Thank you.

Bridget: I heard you two were heroes tonight -- about hector. I don't know
what would've have happened if you hadn't called.

Taylor: How is he?

Bridget: Well, he's conscious but sedated. At least that's the last official
word I heard. There were so many firemen and policemen around, I couldn't really
get near. But I heard that they're monitoring a concussion tonight and then
sending him to supplicate, which to me means he's on the road to recovery. I'll
be right there. Why don't you go on in and see phoebe?

Taylor: Phoebe --

Phoebe: Mom, I thought you were --

Stephanie: Phoebe, I think you should keep that mask on. I'm sure that's what
bridget would want. Look, there was a reason that your mother didn't get to
where she was supposed to be going. Well, we might as well tell you about it
right now.

Thorne: I like this one.

Alexandria: Me, too. Is here where mommy died?

Thorne: Yeah. This is the building, but it was on a different floor.

Alexandria: Can we go there?

Thorne: Oh, honey, I think the doctors are working on somebody else there.

Alexandria: Maybe she came back.

Thorne: No, honey.

Alexandria: Like you say, if I'm lost, I can stayed where I was.

Eric: Well, thank god I married a busybody. My god, you smell of smoke.

Stephanie: Boy, you're right, I do.

Eric: How did this fire start?

Thorne: Hey, you feeling better?

Taylor: We're just sitting here waiting for bridget.

Thorne: Listen, I hate to ask you this right now, but could you come outside
with me? Alexandria wants to see the room her mother died in.

Stephanie: I can talk to her, honey, if you'd like.

Throne: No, that's okay, mom. I need taylor.

Thorne: She -- she thinks her mother's upstairs.

Taylor: Maybe she could go up to the room and just stand in the doorway. It
might give her some closure. I'll talk to the nurses and get her cleared up to
that floor.

Thorne: I hate to do that to her.

Taylor: I'll give it a purpose, okay? Work with her. Hey, thank for taking
care of phoebe today. She's much better.

Alexandria: You're welcome.

Taylor: What are you drawing?

Alexandria: A bee.

Taylor: A bee? Are you going to finish coloring it?

Alexandria: Yeah.

Taylor: Hey, I have an idea. Why don't we cut it out and you can take it up
to your mom's room -- where she died? You could put it on the door. I'm guessing
she could probably see that all the way from heaven.

Alexandria: Okay. Nasal allergy symptoms, like congestion, can occur at any
time.

Bridget: Panic attacks can be really, really serious. Not necessarily
medically, but they definitely are for you. Ask your mom. People come in here
every day thinking they've had are'r nef those things are ever true.

Phoebe: I'm sorry I caused everyone to worry.

Bridget: No, don't be sorry. Look, you're doing a lot better. Your heart rate
has definitely gone down. I just want to give it another half an hour to make
sure it stays there.

Phoebe: Okay, thank you.

Taylor: Thank you, bridget.

Eric: I'm going to see if I can track down ridge.

Stephanie: Okay. Well, let's get serious now.

Taylor: Your grandmother knows.

Phoebe: Knows what?

Stephanie: Stop the act, phoebe. I want to know the truth. And remember,
god's listening. Now, what happened?

Phoebe: It was an accident. I mean, anyone driving at that time would have
hit her.

Taylor: I was drinking.

Stephanie: Are you still drinking?

Taylor: What do you think?

Stephanie: Well, I don't know, taylor. I don't know what to think. I want you
to pull yourself together. And stop blaming yourself. That's ridiculous. And if
you blame yourself, you might as well blame the tires. Or the fog. It's just
nonsense. I want you to watch your mother. Make sure she goes to an aa meeting
every day, two or three if it's necessary. And if she doesn't go, then I want to
find out about it.

Taylor: No, no, no, wait a minute. You back off. You leave her alone. This is
not her responsibility. You're not going to run our lives.

Stephanie: I'm not trying to run your lives. Listen to me, people suffer and
die needlessly every single day. And you know what really matters? The living.
And the fact that they have to keep going forward.

Taylor: Forward to what?

Stephanie: To whatever kind of happiness they can find --

Taylor: Well, that is impossible for me --

Stephanie: Oh, stop with the self-pity. I'm not going to do this to save your
skin. You owe a debt, but it isn't to society, because -- nobody broke society's
heart. But you broke theirs.

Stephanie: Taylor, thorne and alexandria need you. They need you. You have to
be there for them. I don't care whether it's picking her up from school, taking
her to school, being at the playground with her, having dinner -- you've got to
be there. You got to try and help them --

Taylor: That is exactly what I have been doing. I have been doing the best I
can. But I still have to tell thorne that I am the one that destroyed his life.
I cannot live with this guilt.

Stephanie: You can't live this guilt? You're a psychiatrist. You know that
guilt is the biggest waste of emotion in the world. I could sit down and make a
long list of all the unforgivable things I've done in my life. I could sit
around and wait for a black robed judge to pass sentence on me, but I don't do
that. I get up and I get on with it. And every single day, I try and find some
way to redeem myself. And that's what you have to do.

Taylor: You know what? You go out there and you ask your son, thorne, what
single thing will give him peace in his life. And he'll tell you it's finding
the person that killed the mother of his little girl out there!

Stephanie: Oh, you think finding out that you ran over darla is going to give
him peace of mind? No, it isn'T. You said it was an accident. She's sworn to me
that it's an accident. Was it an accident?

Taylor: Yes, it was!

Stephanie: Well, then let it go! Walk away from it now, let it end here. If
he can live with it, if he can learn to live with it, then you can, too.
